SHIKARPUR, March 12: Atta chakki owners on Thursday demanded that the food department should supply wheat to the district as per the fixed quota.

They said the food department supplied 3,000 bags of wheat against the fixed quota of 15,000 per month which could not fulfil the needs of 500,000 people of the district.

An emergent meeting of the atta chakki association district Shikarpur demanded that the Sindh government should supply wheat to atta chakki as per quota sanctioned by the government.
